Hi, New guy looking for suggestions

[rycher]

Hi, Newbie here. I had a 78 TA back in my younger days and did the marriage (sale your beloved car) thing. Here I am 22 yrs later really wanting to get another mid 70's TA. As much as I'd love to fix one up, it would never get done with my lifestyle ( I have a 9 and 2 yr. old)
On the other hand I can't afford a Barret/ Jackson car neither. Here is a link to a TA I'm very interested in, any opinions on the value or condition of this car by you experts would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

check www.nada.com to get an idea on the value of the car.

Thanks, NADA is in the mid 20k range in the average condition, so it sounds good. Just was curious about if this seems like it would hold it's value pretty well among collectors. I'm not looking to get something to set on and make a profit down the road, but you never know in todays economy, and I'd like to think if I'd have to sale it, I wouldn't lose my hind end.

Just Concerned the Ad says Numbers Mathing and a 400 But they have the 455-HO stickers on the Hood Scoop?

Noticed that myself, the car was supposedly repainted in the late 90's and the decal was put on there for show. I'll find out if it's the right engine tomorrow, I'm having it inspected. If it checks out, she'll be mine.
